Or perhaps digital visual effects are yet to be added? [Los Angeles Times]

Pippin: The musical Pippin enjoyed a good run on Broadway (nearly five years) and has been revived for a new production, which is currently in previews. The Weinsteins have held the film rights since 2003, but it looks like a big-screen version is finally underway, with James Ponsoldt (last year's Smashed and this year's upcoming The Spectacular Now) set to write the screenplay. Ponsoldt has also been hired by the Weinsteins to write and direct Forgive Me, Mr. Peacock, based on an upcoming novel targeted toward teen readers by Matthew Quick, who previously wrote Silver Linings Playbook.
